1- EXTDISK run from a DOS boot disk says:

"Int 13H extensions are supported"

2- DFSOS2 reports (note this is AFTER shrinking the G partition and
expanding H; I have eCS 1.1 on it but can't use it because the
NIC crashes the system with TRAP 000d):

I need to know:

1-Why doesn't eCS accept IBM's word when they say this lates BIOS
allows booting above 1024 cylinders and EXTDISK confirms this?

2-What can I do to make this system usable with my 3Com NIC which
works fine on my 600X (driver 10-27-96 30237 bytes elpc3.os2)?

Thanks for all help.
